Aside from PolSci I make apps for my Garmin. As I recently started my postdoc at ESSEC and need to improve my French, I had an idea: apps.garmin.com/fr-FR/apps/c... An app to look up verb conjugations while doing sports (my 30km commute for example). Ideal when listening to French podcasts.
apps.garmin.com
Conjugator | Connect IQ Store
Garmin app for learning French, Spanish, and Italian conjugations whilst doing sports. Useful for listening to language podcasts during long climbs.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Fresh from the press! It was great experience to be part of the team that made this paper on an unfortunately still highly relevant topic possible.

Dit is dus wat wel mis gaat. De stem van de meerderheid die vandaag óók grootscheeps op straat was krijgt slechts een mention.

Zwaar vuurwerk, fakkels, brandstichting, extreemrechtse leuzen, vernielingen, intimidatie. Het houdt maar niet op. Dit georganiseerde geweld is een keiharde ondermijning van onze democratie, beïnvloedt door extreemrechtse groepen en opgehitst door politici. www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

🚨 Western democracies are often described as polarized. @katharinalawall.bsky.social, @mtsakiris.bsky.social + I study how polarization actually feels. Now published in @ejprjournal.bsky.social, we asked citizens in 5 European countries to report their emotions ⬇️ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Before my PhD I was a TA with a sidejob in a cheese shop. At some point I found myself collecting receipts, writing down the target weight, and digitizing them afterwards. Last weekend I took up the effort and simulated the rest for a teaching module: Cheesy Correlations and Causality. 🧀 (1/8)

Onder het mom van 'eerlijke verkiezingen' het vertrouwen in het verkiezingsproces ondermijnen door incidenten niet zorgvuldig te (laten) onderzoeken, maar uitvergroten en ophef te creëren. Zeer zorgwekkend. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/polit...

Ok, D66 is the biggest (medium) party in the Netherlands.. by a whisker… Good news. Congrats! Can we now focus on the fact that the second biggest party/person is engaging in thinly-veiled election denial?

Prinsenvlag, VOC-logo's, nationalistische leuzen, hysterische opruiing, journalisten en politiemannen aangevallen, ruiten partijkantoor D66 ingegooid. VVD-er Heinen: 'Laten we niet alles politiek maken.' De VVD is een verachtelijke partij.

Call for scholars in political behavior (broadly understood) studying Central & Eastern Europe: workshop hosted by @eui-eu.bsky.social, June 19-20. 2nd edition. Participants from the region can have their travel & accommodation fully covered. Apply by 28/3. More info: www.eui.eu/en/projects/...
The Department of Political and Social Sciences (SPS) at the European University Institute is pleased to announce the second edition of the workshop on political behaviour in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The workshop understands political behaviour broadly and is open to papers studying public opinion and attitudes, voting, elections, political parties, inter-group relations, and political participation. The goal of this event is to bring together scholars, both from the East and the West, who empirically study political realities in CEE through within-country, between-country, or between-region (e.g., East-West) comparison. Papers investigating general research questions that are not specific to CEE are also very welcome as long as they comprise a significant empirical component from the region (e.g., half of the studied cases are from CEE). The workshop embraces all methodological approaches, but submissions that employ quantitative or mixed methods will be given priority. Each accepted paper will be thoroughly discussed, and the workshop will offer ample opportunities for establishing professional connections and collaborations. @eui-sps.bsky.social‬

I keep reading that Zelensky shouldn't have risen to the bait. The man is human. He's seen tens of thousands of Ukrainians murdered, their cities blown apart & their children stolen. He was sitting by a man who's looting his country's minerals & praising Putin. And for 40 minutes, he held it in.
